Thanks to all for your helpful suggestions. We have two phone lines coming into
the house and I want the router with its four ports in my office because of the
number of computers I have there. The USB wireless will go in my partner's
system across the hall. Currently my line with a single jack is split and split
again to connect to two or three modems (only one on at a time), three
telephones, and an answering machine. My dial-up service works fine
notwithstanding the split. My friend, who works for the ISP, will help me with
the setup and will give me some slack until I have things tweaked. Hopefully the
filter will be able to handle the telephones and answering machine. Could I
possibily reduce the strain on the filter by unplugging one or two telephones
when they aren't needed. Assuming I overload the filter - how would I know?
Would the DSL and the phones stop working?
Thanks again to all for your help.
